Perhaps I was overly cynical about the aspects of it that I feel have dated.

I guess Denmark doesn’t produce a huge number of films but some of the ones you do produce are pretty amazing. There are the films by Carl Theodor Dreyer (most of which I still admittedly haven’t seen) and the incredible silent film from 1922 Häxan. I first saw Häxan about 18 months ago when I was living in Bristol, England. It was screened in an abandoned church with a live accompaniment – an amazing experience!

In terms of more recent Danish films, the Pusher trilogy is very impressive. The three films are some of the most gritty and nerve-wracking depictions of the criminal world.

Anyway, I have sort of gone off the topic here…

It is one of the most famous Danish movies ever. But then again we are not exactly one of the big movies-making nations.
